Sleepy Ernst

Sleepy Ernst was a German scientist employed by the Majestic intelligence agency during the 1950s. In 1959, Majestic hired him to control human brainwaves using televised propaganda; Ernst planned to start his own cable news network after working with Majestic. Ernst suffered from narcolepsy, hence his nickname. In 1959, he drowned in the Pacific Ocean off Santa Monica; ufologists attributed his death to the alien Crypto 137, who flung him into the sea with his psychokinesis before sabotaging his brainwashing operation.
